BHOPAL: The four-day Chhath festival concluded on Thursday with the devotees offering ‘Argya’ to the rising Sun at different ghats in the city. A large number of women gathered at the Sheetaldas Ki Bagiya in the morning. Standing knee-deep in water, they offered raw milk as Arghya to the Sun God. They also carried seasonal fruits and sweets in Supas. After the ceremony, women applied sindoor to each other and prayed for the prosperity and wellbeing of their children.
According to Kunwar Prasad, president of the Bhojpuri Ekta Manch Samiti, medical education minister Vishwas Sarang also reached Sheetaldas Ki Bagiya and offered Argya. Congress MLA PC Sharma welcomed the Vratis by showering flower petals on them.
